L· mr ]1 10 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Several methods for igniting propellant fuel fillers associated with bullets axially stacked within a gun body have been disclosed in the prior art. In these methods, the electrical conductor is required to direct the ignition signal to the respective propellant fuel fill of each of the bullets in the gun body. This increases the complexity of the individual body assembly of the stacked bullets and the construction of the weapon that adds to the multiple body assembly. The electronic ignition devices of the individual bullets discussed herein provide maximum flexibility for the ignition of individual bullets, but some applications of this technology still require less complex ignition devices. Any of the prior art techniques referred to in this specification should not be construed as an admission that the skill of the art forms a general knowledge relating to the ignition system of Australian munitions and weapons. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to a first feature of the present invention, an ignition device for a gun body assembly is provided, and the body assembly includes a plurality of bullets axially stacked within the gun body. a self-propelled body, and a respective propellant fuel filler for continuously ejecting the shotgun from the body, and the ignition combination includes: 5 a hole provided on the body of each bullet, wherein the hole and the body are front and rear And a fuze disposed in the aperture: the fuze includes a portion that is burned at a predetermined rate; thus, in use, the fuze is burned in the aperture to cause combustion of the propellant associated with the sub-elastic . The forward flow of the aperture allows the fuse to be burned by triggering the combustion of the fuel filler prior to one of the previous bullets in the axially stacked bullets when the previous bullet was fired. The 10 hai bow 丨 h is preferably elongated and may include three parts, a front part, a rear 4 injury and a middle part. The intermediate portion suitably includes a fuse material that can be burned at a predetermined rate and is substantially longer than the front portion or the rear portion. Preferably, the 'bullet' is provided with a first aperture that communicates between the aperture and the front of the body, and a second aperture that communicates between the aperture and the rear of the body. Preferably, the aperture is aligned with the axis of the bullet and is suitably coaxial with the bullet. The second and second apertures are generally smaller in size than the aperture, and the first aperture is preferably smaller than the second aperture. The fuse is preceded by a fuse material that burns the propellant and ignites the rain portion and sequentially ignites the middle portion of the fuse. In the case of a bullet in the gun body or a bullet in the forefront, the front part of the fuse can be ignited by electromechanical force by the first or 1287078 front aperture. If necessary, use an initiator. The intermediate portion is constructed of a fuse material that can be burned at a predetermined longitudinal rate, and the intermediate portion ignites the portion of the fuse after the end of the combustion of the intermediate material. The fuse material in the middle portion can also be provided with a sealing function because the burning fuze material can be provided with at least a portion of the seal in the cavity and/or the first aperture. Thus, the rear portion of the fuse consists of a fuze material that can be ignited by the combustion intermediate portion, and the associated push filler can be ignited via the second or rear aperture in sequence. ... 〇 Preferably, the fuse includes a sturdy sleeve suitably composed of a metal comprising a fuze material. If necessary, the sturdy sleeve is held in a hole placed in the bullet body. The predetermined combustion rate is calculated with reference to the propellant fuel charge stacked in the bullet, whichever is the desired time between nine. It should be understood that this calculation can be used to calculate the lateral ignition time of the part before and after the fuse.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In order to make the present invention easy to understand, the following description will be made in detail with reference to the drawings and preferred embodiments of the present invention, wherein: FIG. 1 is a gun body assembly of the first embodiment incorporating an ignition combination. FIG. 2 is another schematic cross-sectional view of a bullet incorporated in the fuse of the first embodiment; FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another bullet incorporating the fuse of the second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the fuse-shell of the second embodiment. [Embodiment] Description of Embodiments of the Invention Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a gun body assembly 10 including a body 11 having a muzzle end 12 and a body end on the muzzle The cover 13 and a rear end 14 are made of a plastic or cellulose material and can block 1287078 foreign matter from entering the gun body 11. In some applications of the invention, such as border defense, weapons using the gun body assembly can be exposed to the weather for a long period of time. The gun body end cap 13 is optional. If the gun body end cap is used, each gun body cover 5 can be individually removed before ignition, or the multi-gun body weapon gun body cap can be connected together to allow the operator to The sides of the weapon are removed one at a time. If the gun body cover is removed individually, the body cover can be removed by the action of leaving the first bullet of the gun body; that is, the forward movement of the first bullet will compress the gun body from its position. Cover the air behind the end of the gun body, and the first bullet 10 does not hit the gun body cover. The gun body houses a plurality of bullets 15a, 15b, 15c each having a body 18 including a head member 16 and a tail member 17. The tail member 17 further includes a tail hem portion 19 extending rearwardly adjacent to a rear bullet in this embodiment. Further details of the bullet 15, particularly in relation to a 15 hole 27 provided in the bullet body 18, will be described below in conjunction with Figure 2. The bullets 15 are axially stacked in the gun body with the propellant fuel filler 20, and the propellant fuel filler 20 is disposed in the tail hem portion 19 of each bullet. The propellant fuel fill 20 in this embodiment is a solid block each having a progressive weight of propellant. The progressive weight 20 of the propellant fuel fill allows for different muzzle rates of the stacked bullets 15. For example, in some applications, it is best to get the bullets to the destination almost simultaneously. An inner end face 30 of the tail hem portion 19 engages a nose portion of a rear bullet as a mandrel to urge the outer surface 33 of the tail hem portion 19 into operative sealing engagement with the bore of the gun body 11. In another embodiment, the tail 1287078 of the bullet may be relatively rigid and have a surface that is complementary to the head face of the rear bullet such that a sealed engagement is formed between the bullets. In another embodiment, the propellant fuel fill can be sealed relative to the bullet. This combination of seals is disclosed in International Patent Application No. PCT/AU03/00318, filed on March 17, 2003. A hole 27 is provided in each of the bullet bodies 18 to accommodate a fuse 22 that is part of the ignition configuration for advancing the fuel fill 20. The aperture 27 is cylindrical and is coaxially positioned in the bullet and communicates with the front and rear of the bullet 18. The aperture communicates with the front of the bullet body 18 via a first aperture 28 disposed on the head member 16 and communicates with the rear of the bullet body 18 1 through a second aperture 29 in the tail member 17. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the aperture extending from the front to the rear of the bullet may be one of several forms that are non-cylindrical and/or may be positioned coaxially in the bullet. In this embodiment, the front or foremost bullet 15a in the snatch includes a starter fuze that is adapted to be ignited by a first control unit (not shown) via a power signal supplied by an ignition 15 circuit 23. However, the fuses 22 contained in the remaining bullets 15b, 15c of the stack are adapted to be ignited by the combustion of the propellant fuel filler 2 associated with the front bullets, 15b) in the stack. From the stealing u, the only thing needed to start a few bullets 15 is the power signal. Other embodiments may employ chemical or mechanical activation of the fuse, and may also include a series of shots that are fired in a single body. For example, a gun body consisting of twelve stacked bullets of twelve fuses can be used to control the three circuits of each group of bullets as desired. The front bullets in each group do not need to have an internal fuse, and another major ignition fuse from the outside can start the propellant after the moon bullet. Another type of ignition circuit is a single circuit that uses the input 11 1287078 to send a flat horse ignition signal to all three start firing lines, where each starter only responds to a particular individual. Referring particularly to Fig. 2, the head portion 16 and the tail portion π member of the bullet body 18 are arranged to be combined in the 彡丨彳3 22 after the coaxial hole 27 is inserted. The head member 16 includes a sleeve portion 31 joined by a plug portion 32 of the tail member 17, and the portion may include a cooperating thread for subsequent release, and the portion may be fixed together for holding The bow letter 22 is in it. In this embodiment, the head element 16 is made of steel and the tail element 17 is made of aluminum alloy. When the combination is completed, the coaxial aperture 27 communicates with the front of the bullet body 18 via a front aperture 28 that is conveniently formed on the head member 10 16 . The coaxial aperture 27 also communicates with the rear of the bullet 18 via a rear aperture 29 on the tail member 17 conveniently. In particular, the outlet of the rear aperture is at the tail element adjacent the propellant fuel fill 20 associated with the bullet 15. The diameter of the front aperture 28 is relatively small compared to the coaxial aperture 27 to reduce the passage of the inflamed article as a forward propellant fuel filler burns, as well as the loss of pressure. The diameter of the rear aperture is also fairly limited, but is not as restrictive as the front aperture to facilitate propulsion of the fuel filler 2 (as indicated by the dashed line). Preferably, the apertures 28, 29 are smaller in size than the fuse 22 to hold the fuses in the apertures 27. In this embodiment, the fuse 22 is constructed in three parts, a front portion 24, a middle portion 25, and a rear portion 26. The front portion 24 is constructed of a bowing material ignited by a combustion propellant fuel filler that can be disposed in front of the front or first aperture 28. In contrast, the rear portion 26 of the fuse 22 is constructed of a fuse material that is disposed after the passage of the second or the second aperture 29 and is disposed after the new propellant fuel filler. The fuze material can be held in a tubular housing suitably constructed of a thin metal material. More importantly, the intermediate portion 25 of the fuse 22 is constructed of futuristic material 5 sized and comminuted at a predetermined rate, particularly at a desired rate along its length, and can also be ignited and passed through the rear and front portions of the fuse. I was ignited. Suitable fuze materials having these characteristics, such as the delayed composition listed in the table below, are commercially available from The Ensign Bickford Company of Simsbury, CT.

Alternatively, the fuse can be placed in a housing that melts and occludes the aperture 27 during or after the fuse is burned. It is designed to facilitate this step before and after the fuse chamber in the bullet of the first embodiment. 5 The front and rear portions 24, 26 of the end of the fuse 22 are placed to cover, as it is believed that the fuse material suitable for controlling combustion at a steady rate may fail to initiate the combustion of the fuel filler, and vice versa. In the case of proper synthesis of fuze materials and propellants, the front and rear portions do not need to cover the fuze. In some embodiments, the portion may include a co-active additive, 10 which is used in an amount that is longitudinally graded from the ends of the fuse as desired to facilitate lateral ignition between adjacent portions. The second embodiment of the ignition combination of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with Figures 3 and 4. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of a bullet 35, which differs from the first embodiment in that it has a single piece or a single body 36, and a threaded longitudinal hole 37 is placed 15 on the head of the single body. . The aperture defines a hole for retaining a fuse 34 that communicates with the front of the head 38 and rearwardly toward the tail 39 of the bullet. In another form, the bullet holes can be relatively smooth so that the fuses of similar configuration are pressed into the bullet body in a distracting manner. The fuse for the ignition combination of the second embodiment has a body 4 adapted to be inserted into the bullet hole 37 as shown in Fig. 3, and the fuse is purchased as a sleeve having an external thread 42 and accommodating the fuse material. An inner hole 43 (not shown). - The elongated hole 44 is provided across the end face of the letter body 41 to facilitate engagement with a tool. The difference from the first embodiment of the first embodiment is that the holes provided on the bullet body 36 1287078 and the inner holes 43 on the bow 4G are not provided with a narrowing aperture or the like. The cement is pressed into the inner cavity of the fuse and forms a stable compressed material. It should be understood that other embodiments of the present invention (4) may employ a shortened fuse body 41 and/or a bullet body 36 as needed. The exemplary fuse 40 is designed to be inserted into a 15.7 mm bullet, and at least the delay portion of the lead is made of a material consisting of an ignition mixture, A1A, sold by Eagle Picher of Joplin, MO. The composition of the ignition mixture, ΑΙΑ" is as follows: False 65% (120A Foote Mineral Co or equivalent) Red iron oxide, JAN-I-706 25% (with exception)
Superfloss™ 10% (、'Superf loss,,為一種磨碎的且 鍛燒之矽藻土) 須瞭解的是引信組合物及推進劑的種類僅在決定點火 系統及子彈的應用決定後才能確定。引信、推進劑及引信 15 孔穴之特徵均依特定應用所須的口徑及搶口速率而定。為 達成某一孔徑及槍口速率,可選擇特定種類及劑量的推進 劑。由於推進劑的選擇對於選擇適合的引信組合物是必要 的,引信組合物的選擇在某一程度下由引信孔穴之尺寸決 定。 20 本發明的點火引信組合之某些實施例可備置以下優 點: 1·在前一子彈未點火的狀況下,可顯著減少接下來 的子彈點火之機會。相信前一子彈尚未點火時不會跳 過〃而讓後一子彈點火。 1287078 2.此系統亦減少在現有電力起動系統中各子彈所須 的線圈數,其中各推進燃料填充物均備置導體㈣ 意謂著使財發明的槍身純财容易電力 較輕,較小。 5 3. 由於以上兩點 控制單元。 槍身系統需要較小且簡單的點火 4·最後,點火組合顯著地減少造價。SuperflossTM 10% (, 'Superf loss, for a ground and calcined diatomaceous earth) It is to be understood that the type of fuze composition and propellant can only be determined after determining the application of the ignition system and the bullet. Fuzes, Propellants, and Fuzes 15 The characteristics of the holes are determined by the caliber and rush rate required for the particular application. To achieve a certain aperture and muzzle rate, a specific type and dose of propellant can be selected. Since the choice of propellant is necessary to select a suitable fuze composition, the choice of fuze composition is determined to some extent by the size of the fuze hole. 20 Certain embodiments of the ignition fuze combination of the present invention provide the following advantages: 1. In the event that the previous bullet is not ignited, the chance of subsequent bullet firing is significantly reduced. I believe that when the previous bullet has not been ignited, it will not jump over and let the latter bullet ignite. 1287078 2. This system also reduces the number of coils required for each bullet in the existing electric starting system. Each of the propellant fuel fillers is provided with a conductor (4), which means that the body of the invention is lighter and lighter. 5 3. Due to the above two control units. The gun body system requires a small and simple ignition. 4. Finally, the ignition combination significantly reduces the cost.
須瞭解的是,雖然前方推進燃料填充物的起動會造成 數個子彈自槍身中通過成串引信22及子彈藥柱二而射 1〇 出,在某些狀況下此非為缺點。 本發明的引信式點火組合可以習知或本發明所提出之 構胸口入槍身總成中。譬如,運用本發明之點火組合的數 個私身總成很容易地以、、發射架夕構形堆聚在一起,如上 所述專利申請案中所述者。使用多於一個槍身的好處在於 15發射式架武器系統具有可重複性,且不同的搶身可裝載不 同種類及數量的子彈。It should be understood that although the advancement of the fuel filler in the forward direction causes several bullets to be fired from the gun body through the string of fuses 22 and the submunition column 2, this is not a disadvantage in some cases. The fuze ignition combination of the present invention can be conventionally incorporated or incorporated into the gun body assembly of the present invention. For example, a plurality of personal assemblies using the ignition combination of the present invention can be easily stacked together in a launcher configuration as described in the patent application above. The advantage of using more than one gun body is that the 15 launcher weapon system is repeatable, and different grabs can carry different types and quantities of bullets.
因此,擬在任一實例中點火的固定數量之子彈之任何 應用均適合於本發明。此種應用中的一特定實例為對抗以 肩射之皮坦克飛彈之車輛自我防衛。在此實例中,一 20預定數量的子彈可自搶身中一起點火,以達成飛彈搁截所 須的高精準度。此種在發射架上的子彈可置於車輛中,如 坦克車,以對抗以肩部發射反坦克飛彈之威脅。 反坦克飛彈基本上是在車輛上在相當近(如05Km)的 距離發射。因此,坦克的困難在於飛彈的飛出時間十分短, 16 1287078 且賴威脅的電子價測可幾乎是立即的,車柄防衛系統, 如氣舞或機槍很難快速且有效率地反應而應付威脅。 若為機槍,在其料威#並開始點火時,運氣最好時 亦具有幾個子彈點火。然而,輕巧且重量輕的子彈發射竿 5武器可較快速地反應。該種子彈可自多枝槍身中起火,且 搶身可選擇地展開,以打開在特快速率下的點火模式,並 產生朝向飛彈的、、錐形,,子彈,此與僅可以慢的火線輸出Thus, any application of a fixed number of bullets to be ignited in either instance is suitable for the present invention. A specific example of such an application is self-defense against a vehicle with a shoulder-skinned tank. In this example, a predetermined number of bullets can be fired together from the body to achieve the high precision required for the missile to be intercepted. Such bullets on the launcher can be placed in vehicles, such as tanks, to counter the threat of launching anti-tank missiles at the shoulders. Anti-tank missiles are basically launched on vehicles at fairly close distances (eg 05Km). Therefore, the difficulty of the tank is that the flight time of the missile is very short, 16 1287078 and the electronic price of the threat can be almost immediate. The handle defense system, such as qi dance or machine gun, is difficult to respond quickly and efficiently to cope with the threat. . In the case of a machine gun, when it starts to ignite and has a good luck, it also has several bullets to ignite. However, the lightweight and lightweight bullet launcher 5 weapon can react faster. The seed bomb can fire from a plurality of gun bodies, and the body can be selectively deployed to open the ignition mode at a very fast rate and produce a cone, a cone, a bullet that is directed toward the missile, and this can only be a slow fire line.
